Academic Integrity
UW-Madison requires all students to act with honesty and integrity, and respect the rights of others in carrying out all academic activities. By enrolling in this course, each student assumes the responsibilities of an active participant in UW-Madison’s community of scholars in which everyone’s academic work and behavior are held to the highest academic integrity standards. Academic misconduct compromises the integrity of the university. Cheating, fabrication, plagiarism, unauthorized collaboration, and helping others commit these acts are examples of academic misconduct, which can result in disciplinary action.  Please see Academic Integrity and the Academic Misconduct Process (opens in a new tab).
